Adele releases new James Bond film's theme on YouTube

Video already viewed 1.5 million times

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond flick, "Dr. No," the latest Bond theme song has been released online.

Adele confirmed earlier this week that she has co-written and performed the theme to the upcoming Bond movie "Skyfall," which opens in the U.S. on Nov. 9.

The song is co-written by Paul Hepworth, who also co-wrote Adele’s smash hit "Rolling in the Deep."

"Skyfall" was released on Adele’s official YouTube page and has already been viewed 1.5 million times. The song has an eerie quality similar to past Bond theme songs, which have been performed by the likes of artists ranging from Carly Simon, Tina Turner, Duran Duran and most recently Jack White and Alicia Keys.
